1. Communicate with other bloggers
Join twitter & Instagram and talk to other bloggers. By sharing a link to your newest blogpost via blogging sharing accounts on twitter such a @blogginggirls or @blogginglounge, it opens up your audience.

2. Blog frequently
You won't get a ton of followers & views overnight but carrying on for a long time and keep uploading content the views will come and so will the readers.

3. Comment on other peoples blogs
I try and leave detailed comments on 5 new blogs a day as well as commenting on the same blogs to keep good friendships. Don't comment; follow for follow- as that won't get you any where.

4.keep your blog true to you
Its very easy to copy what everyone else is doing but readers will be able to see straight through it. Everything from your banner to your writing style, should be based upon you.

5. Have fun!
This sounds really chessy but if blogging becomes 'work' for you and you don't enjoy it, then maybe its not your thing. Its okay, to take a step back once in a while- it won't hurt!

I am pretty sure you will all know Zoella. I of course love watching her makeup and fashion videos but one of the main things which she gives me so much inspiration about is her bedroom and her flat.

I love the retro style and I am a massive lover of retro myself. So today I thought I would do a round up of Zoella's old flat photos and why they inspire me. Of course credit for all the pictures goes to Zoe!

I love the style of this furniture so much. I love the contrasting colours against the brown.

I love retro radios. I am planning on getting one for my birthday.

I think grey and mustard yellow work really well together. I also think having a big lamp, makes a room really stand out.

I love what Zoe has done with her walls here. I think adding cute little picture's can really spice up a wall.

Wouldn't having a desk like this make any one want to work? Its so cute & I love the little fawn.

Thanks for reading x

I love looking at other peoples homes and décor, so I hope this may be of some interest.

I have to admit even though I have lived in the U.K all my life, I hardly ever go to anywhere new. I always go to the same places and never go and explore.

I have done one of these before, when I talked about where I want to visit all over the world. This time I have narrowed it down to places in the U.K

Hope you enjoy x

1. Sandbanks | Dorset
This is one of the most beautiful places In the U.K. I didn't even know it existed till the other day. Needless to say the houses have got quite a lot of 0's on the end. Nonetheless it is so stunning. It reminds me on Cannes In France, which is like my number one place to visit.

2. Chelsea | London
I mentioned Chelsea in my last Travel Wishlist but I love it so much. My favourite TV programme is set there plus all the amazing shops. However just like sandbanks, its pretty expensive to live there.

3. Brighton
I am of course influenced by all the amazing YouTubers living there and their daily vlogs. Brighton looks a really sweet little seaside town and ' the lanes ' look really cool to shop in.

I picked the Neutrogena foot cream and body lotion quite a while ago now in boots when they were on offer. But I like to try things out first and make sure I give you guys a honest review on the products.

First I will talk about the foot cream. I love my heel genius but I didn't want to run out as I love it so much and its like £5 a bottle. I found this instead and thought I would give it a whirl.

I have to be honest the packaging on the foot cream doesn't stand out to me as a amazing product.Packaging 2/5

However I really like the actual foot cream. Its easy to apply and 100% makes my feet feel smooth. I don't know if I like it as much as heel genius though.Product 4/5

The smell of both products is fruity! The body lotion has berry's in it. I do love the smell of heel genius though but I think it is about equal for smells.Smell 3/5

I then tried the body lotion. As it was down to £1.99. I am normally quite fussy when it comes to body lotion. I haven't found one yet that I have really loved.

The Neutrogena body lotion is not greasy when applied and soaks in relatively quickly. I am very glad it has a pump rather than just a clip lid, so it gives you more control of what you put on to your legs.Product 4/5

The smell again is very fruity and similar to the foot cream. Its not my favourite sent in the world, but its okay.Smell 4/5

I actually prefer the packaging on the body lotion then the foot cream. Packaging 4/5

Overall I would recommend the Neutrogena products. I would not buy them again if they were not in the sale or on some kind of offer though.

I hit 3,000 followers on my Instagram, 3,000 views on my blog and 100 followers on bloglovin! I am so grateful for every single person who has followed me on any of my social media, it means the world!

OMG! This book though! A genuinely twisted creepy psychological thriller that left be on edge till the very end. I had no idea where this was going to go but I was very pleased with all the creepy twists and turns. You really can't trust...

Although I did find this book quite a tough read at times I wasn't particularly invested in it nor did I care for any of the characters. It started off well and it ended well but the middle was just a bit of a meh read. Needed more twist...

So I really liked Eleanor, but I didn't care for park. I enjoyed the fact that this book did deal with a few senstive topics such as family and abusive relationships. The writing style did annoy me in places though especially the monolog...
